Buying an x2c
 

Hi guys,ill be getting myself an x2c shortly and wanted to know if there are any parts that I need to get to get the car upto speed for racing or would it be ok straight out of the box?.

Also,could you suggest any spares that I might need?.

Cheers Phill:thumbsup:

Pretty good out the box, my dads run his kit setup and prefers it to his 22...

Id advise ceramic diff balls, B4 slipper pads and spur, thats about it...

If you fancy a few extras the rear hubs are a good option, much stronger than the kit and possibly the new idler gears...

Tom

Thanks for the reply Tom. Which shop would you recommended is the best place for a good range of spares for the x2c?

You got pm mate

JE spares, Rossmods, MK Racing and Fusion hobbies all pretty good :thumbsup:

Cheers Tom,ill take a look.

Can you only use saddles pack lipos with this or can you use stick as in the monkey

saddles only fit in the X2c - the monkey is the stick pack chassis.

Glad i swapped to the X2c - definately a good car for the money!

Got my x2c on order,should be with me by the weekend:thumbsup:.

I was wondering if anybody knows of any hobby shops that stock the Kevlar diff gear and the nylon idler gear?. Ive seen them on the Ansmann site as upgrades but not seen any shops that stock them.

Still waiting on the Kevlar diff parts but the idler gears have been released just get you LHS to order them. I know ours came pretty quickly, and have sold pretty quickly to :lol:

Cheers Rob,ill have a word with them when I pick my car up.

You shouldnt need the kevlar diff gear tbh, just get the idler gears and a b4 spur with slipper pads as mentioned earlier, job done :thumbsup:

Im going to get the ae spur and pads this weekend Tom:thumbsup:. Ive been told the ae springs fit the shocks on the x2c but only just,are there any other manufacturers springs that fit that are better quality than the ansmann one?.

My dads is using the kit ones and they work well, losi ones fit but are a little on the large side and you'll need the spring cups, havent really tried any others unfortunately

Ill stick with the kit ones for now then,see how it goes.

Well,finally got the car yesterday and its now built. For the price you can't go wrong. Only had a couple of issues with the car which were putting the motor in and the fact ive got a house brick for a esc!. :mad:

I can see now why it tells you to put the motor in halfway through the build and not when you've finished.

All in all im very happy with it and I can't wait to run it now.

Kyosho and TRF springs fit perfectly with no slop :thumbsup:

That's good news Alec,ive got an FS2 and a few sets of springs.:thumbsup:

Hi Brooksy,

i know it's been a few days since you built your x2c..how are you getting on with your car?

thanks

Very happy with it!. Hoping to race it in anger a week on sunday at rhr autumn cup. Only run it once on Wednesday and it drives really well. Kit settings with 40wt oil in front and 30wt in the back.

Glad to hear you're happy with it...what motor and speedo are you running?

Got a speed passion v3 7.5 motor in and a lrp sxx v1 in it. Bought the speedo second hand last week for 50 quid. I had an Orion vortex in it before that but its the size of a house brick and I had trouble fitting it in. I think a 7.5 is plenty quick enough in a 2wd.

Having trouble deciding between a x2c or a durango dex210 for next season, i like the look of the durango a lot but for some reason i keep getting drawn back towards the x2c :confused:

Suppose it depends on how much racing your going to do and how good you are for me. I got the x2c because it was a cheaper mid motor car and I don't get to race that much because of the shifts I do at work,so couldn't justify buying a top end car.

Racing 3 or 4 times a week & practice everyday so it will probably end up being the durango, i might get the x2c or a monkey for my boy to learn with, then i can upgrade it slowly for him as i like the look of the hop up's for it, he has had a lunchbox for a year now & is almost ready for the step up to a proper buggy
Let us all know how you get on racing it soon

RW Spur gears fit then too? Would be good to see one at TORCH as I am 2wd less at present (excluding a xxcr)

I'd go for the dex210 then gainsy. Im lucky if I get to race three times a month!!!.

Don't know which car you mean Mikey, but if you mean the x2c the ae b4 spur and slipper plates fit.:thumbsup:

Sorry x2c as RW already do Durango spurs
